He builds the state who to that task 

Brings strong, clean hands and purpose pure, 

Wlio wears not virtue as a mask ; 
He builds the state that shall endure. 

The state wherein each loyal son 

Holds as a birthright from true sires 

Treasures of honor nobly won, 
And freedom's never-dying fires. 

Richard Watson Gilder.

Lest we forget, lest we forget.
